Joint Base Lewis-McChord will conduct late-night firing of an M777 Howitzer, demolitions and C-4 day and night through March 22.

This firing is for the soldiers to maintain their proficiency with this type of weapons system.

Increased levels of activity will be noticed during the evening hours, and firing will be conducted from more than one range.

This is routine required training. As often as possible, JBLM conducts larger scale demolition training and artillery firing at the Yakima Training Center in an effort to minimize inconvenience for the surrounding communities. However, some training must take place on base.

Questions or comments about noise may be directed to 253-967-0852.
